Rossford R e c o r d — Your Hometown Newspaper Since 1939 — WWW.ROSSFORD.COM VOLUME 76, NUMBER 10 – MARCH 5, 2015 We Honor ROSSFORD, WOOD COUNTY, OHIO Reduced staff, programs $1.25 million in cuts coming for schools By Beth Church Faced with declining revenues, Rossford Schools cut $1.1 million last year through resignations, retirements and reductions in staffing. Now the school district is bracing for another $1.25 million in cuts. “This will further impact staffing and programs,” said Superintendent Dan Creps at the Rossford Board of Education’s February 23 meeting. He declined to elaborate on details of the cuts. “There will be reductions outlined in a clear fashion at next month’s board meeting,” he said. After the meeting, Mr. Creps said some retirements will be occurring, but he has not received all of the official letters from employees considering that option. “Then I’ll be looking at class sizes and staffing levels,” he said. He acknowledged that the cutbacks will affect “a mix of athletic and academic programs” as well. The district has placed a five-year 5.9-mill levy on the May ballot, which would generate $2 million. “It’s about needs–not about wants at this point,” Mr. Creps added. The superintendent explained that the levy will help to offset lost revenue that includes $1 million from decreased property values and $400,000 from the state's elimination of the tangible property tax on businesses. It will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $200 more per year. Retired teacher Terri Reichert told the school board she wonders if the levy funds could be used for different purposes. “I’m having a hard time supporting this millage the way this is being presented,” she said. Ms. Reichert believes new tax money should be used for new facilities “to attract people we want in this district.” “Is it too late to think outside the box?” she asked the board, questioning whether the money could be allocated in a different way. “What am I going to gain for $600 a year?” she said. “Is it too late to change it?” She noted that interest rates are still low to borrow funds for construction projects. Rachel Johnson of St. Andrews Road told the board she supports the levy. “It’s an important first step–to have a strong foundation of operating funds,” she said. Mr. Creps said the cuts already made have allowed the district to reduce its per pupil cost by $2,300 from 2012 to 2013. And the 2013 cost was reduced below 2010’s cost, he added. Costs per pupil for 2014 have yet to be finalized by the state, he said. Combined with unfunded mandates especially in state testing, rising health insurance costs and special education costs, the district has a decreasing student population, which work together to push up the per pupil cost, the superintendent explained. “We have done a phenomenal job as a team of reducing that per pupil cost,” Mr. Creps said. “We’ll continue to work on that.” To keep up with declining enrollment, the teaching staff has been reduced by the fulltime equivalent of 27 positions. The superintendent compared that number to the current number of full-time teachers in kindergarten through fourth grade, which is 28. Personnel Decisions The school board approved the following personnel matters: •Employment of classified personnel–Gaylynn Hunt, four-hour secretary at Glenwood Elementary $20 per hour, effective March 2; Sarah Jarosz, RJHS day cleaner, $17.49 per hour effective February 24. •Supplemental contracts for 2014-15 for Oliver Goss, boys tennis coach, $5,051; Todd Eckel, varsity track coach, $5,828; Doug Sauter, Shadd Ellison and Tom The new state PARCC assessments of students, being conducted in February and March, are consuming a great deal of time for Rossford administrators, teachers and students. The online, state-mandated testing at the junior high began February 17 with sixth grade, according to Holly Schmidbauer, junior high interim principal. Seventh graders were tested the week of February 23, and eighth graders the following week. All are tested in English language arts and math. Sixth graders will then take the Ohio AIR performance based assessments (PBA) in social studies, and eighth graders will take the science PBA. “There have been many hours of preparation, from classroom teachers, students, administrators, guidance counselors, tech personnel, secretaries, curriculum director, superintendent, math coach, reading coaches and others,” Mrs. Schmidbauer said in her report to the board. At Eagle Point Elementary, PARCC assessments began February 18 and end March 12, for all third, fourth and fifth graders. “This was quite a task as we had to make arrangements for testing over a 20 day period,” principal Jeff Taylor said. He especially thanked Sandy Smith, district technology director, “for all of her work in getting us prepared.” Ms. Smith noted, in her report to the board, that “the amount of time this is taking is horrific.” “Most of my time has been spent on preparing everything for the on-line assessments. I have been updating data such as student registration files and special education accommodations.” She has met with each principal to verify all student user names and passwords, to review testing schedules. For an in-service day, she taught five sessions of testing trainings for staff. “I feel I have a good handle on the process and will be able to have a good plan next year for involving others with some of the data entry,” she said. Belinda Rhoads, interim director of special services, explained to the board about the increased work for PARCC tests with spe- NWSD awards grant to RJHS Mike Scott, a Rossford resident who serves on the Northwestern Water and Sewer District board of directors, presented a $400 educational grant to Heather Patacca, sixth grade teacher at Rossford Junior High School, during the February 23 school board meeting. “Our future is the kids,” Mr. Scott explained. “We hope this will help to get them interested in water quality and all the environmental aspects.” The district has presented grants to five school districts, he said. It also offers speakers who visit schools to discuss careers in water quality and environmental regulations. Mrs. Patacca agreed to help the NWSD board draft the next round of grant applications. Superintendent Dan Creps added, “We would like to thank our friends at Northwestern for allowing our students this opportunity.” Above, from left are Mrs. Patacca, RHS senior Kirsten Keller and Mr. Scott. Keller, assistant baseball coach, $2,590 each (prorated). •Emily Czubinski as a 2014-15 volunteer at Glenwood Elementary. Superintendent Creps recognized Jane Bowes, secretary at Glenwood Elementary School, with a token of appreciation for her service to the district. She is retiring as of March 1. Ms. Bowes was hired in 2006. The board also met in executive session to discuss personnel employment. No action was taken afterward. Buildings and Grounds Report Ron Weaks, supervisor of buildings and grounds, reported the following February projects to the board: •Electrical panel replacement at RHS is scheduled for spring break by ColganDavis. •A pump, seal and bearings were replaced on the RHS vacuum pump, $277; a motor and bearings were replaced in this univent, $126. •Repaired the coil for the univent in the RJHS art room, $150. •The drive shaft and gears on the John Deere 4310 tractor are no longer working. Mr. Weaks is looking at the cost to replace this tractor instead of repairing it. It is a 2003 model used for winter snow removal. •Two more skids of salt were ordered from Mellocraft, $550. •Two closures were replaced in the breezeway doors, $270. •Vandalism–the window in the rear door to the RJHS gym was broken by a student. Cost for repairs of $270 will be reimbursed by the parents. Other Business In other business, the board: •Heard from Mr. Creps that Judy Cassidy, Meijer store manager, has donated $500 Meijer gift cards to be used by each principal for items for their buildings. •Presented certificates of commendations to the RHS Drama Club directors and students for their perform- cial education students. Ms. Smith and curriculum director Jason Smith have assisted all the special education teachers with new PARCC testing for students on individual education plans (IEPs). “New PARCC guidelines changed the criteria for some of the accommodations that our students have used for high stake and classroom testing,” Ms. Rhoads said in her report to the board. Those changes resulted in reviewing the accommodations needed for each child with the new decision creating frameworks that then led to contacting each family and amending the IEP to reflect new PARCC guidelines. “A significant additional workload was imposed on the technology department (all changes had to be made electronically) as well as each of the special education teachers,” Ms. Rhoads said. “Processes are now in place to assure that the IEP/504 accommodations are in line with the specific criteria for each type of assessment.” In addition, all special education teachers who are administering alternate assessments to students with significant disabilities have been trained. “Teachers have the alternate assessment materials and will administer the assessments to the students during the required timelines. Second raters have been assigned as required by the Ohio Department of Education,” Ms. Rhoads said. Carrie Rathsack, integration specialist, reported that she has been working with administrators and teachers to create schedules that meet testing needs with the least interruption to students and instruction. She assisted with a February 6 in-service where teachers could attend five of 33 possible sessions throughout the day–most of which were presented by other teachers who volunteered their time to prepare and share. A website has been established for teachers and staff to use for future reference. Mr. Smith noted in his report to the board that state ratings based on students’ scores will be used in the teacher evaluation process next year. “Currently all teachers administering any PARCC test or Ohio AIR tests in science will receive valueadded reports and ratings. “Those ratings are to be used in the teacher evaluation process next year (value-added is always a year behind),” he explained. However, the results would not be used in Rossford teacher evaluations if an amendment to the teachers’ contract is agreed upon by the teachers’ union and the school board, he added. “There is legislation in progress that would prohibit the use of this data in the evaluation process but it has not yet been passed,” Mr. Smith said. ance and assistance in “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” production. •Heard from Jeff Culler, transportation director, that regular bus drivers in January took 18 athletic trips of 1,012 miles, sub drivers took 15 trips of 1,009 miles, and two van trips of 68 miles.

Terminated deputy police chief files lawsuits On February 23, former Perrysburg Township Deputy Police Chief Mike Gilmore filed two lawsuits against the township and trustees in Wood County Common Pleas Court. In the first case, Mr. Gilmore, who is being represented by Toledo attorney Thomas Sobecki, is appealing his termination. Citing personnel discipline issues and lack of voter support for a police levy last fall, the Perrysburg Township trustees at a February board meeting eliminated his position and terminated the deputy chief. In his appeal, Mr. Gilmore cites a February 13 letter in which the trustees notified him of their intent to eliminate his job, effective February 12, and asked for his resignation. “If you choose not to resign, your employment is terminated, effective February 13, 2015,” states the letter from township administrator Walt Celley. The former deputy chief alleges that the trustees’ decision is “unconstitutional, illegal, arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable, and/or unsupported by the preponderance of substantial, reliable and probative evidence.” Mr. Sobecki also filed a second lawsuit on behalf of his client against the board and each trustee individually–Gary Britten, Craig LaHote and Bob Mack. The lawsuit lists three counts. Count one alleges violations of procedural due process rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Photo by Coach JB First league championship for RHS since 1993 Bulldogs dethrone Royals to grab NBC crown By Michael Krieger The Rossford Bulldogs played with verve and passion last Friday night, using a quick start to drop the Elmwood Royals and grabbing a share of the Northern Buckeye Conference championship. The RHS boys basketball team raced out to a 21-7 first quarter lead and never trailed, defeating Elmwood, 69-49 in the regular season finale. With the win, the team shares the NBC title with the Lake Flyers, who also won Friday. It is the first league championship for the Bulldogs since 1993 when Rossford won the Northern Lakes League. “I’m really pleased for these kids,” Head Coach Brian Vorst said. “It’s been the goal all season, and a dream for these guys for a long time. It’s been over 20 years for the school, and these guys achieved it. I couldn’t be more proud.” To earn the victory, the Bulldogs relied on the mainstays of their success this season: swarming defense and balanced offense. Bolstered by the outside shooting of point guard Ryan Niese, the inside power game of Nate Childress, and the defensive hustle of Hector Aguirre, Rossford pushed to a big, early lead at the end of the first. The second quarter picked up where the first left off. Despite giving up two quick scores to the Royals at the start of the period, Rossford relied on its quickness to generate steals and produce transition baskets. After Niese connected on a three, the Bulldogs led 2611 and forced the Royals to take a timeout. The timeout didn’t slow down the Bulldogs. Aguirre rebounded his own shot and scored before the team looked inside to junior Jeff Hodak, who made a strong move to the basket for another two. On the ensuing inbound play, sophomore Jacob Perry stole the pass and found Niese for a layup. Niese was fouled and completed the three-point play. Two possessions later, Niese found Marty Linthicum inside for another basket and a 35-17 lead. The teams went on a flurry of traded baskets. They combined for 40 points in the second quarter alone, but it was RHS that led at halftime, 41-27. The pace slowed in the third quarter, but treys by Rossford’s Ben Sauter and Erik Davis provided a comfortable margin, 56-37 before heading into the final period. Rossford utilized its bench for most of the fourth, and there was little let up. Elmwood managed to find the target on a few threepointers, but sophomore reserve guard Matthew Fuerst kept pace with a three of his own, giving Rossford a 20-point lead. After an 8-3 run that ended with a Fuerst hitting a floater in the lane, Rossford went to the bench to play the last of the reserves and finish the contest. Rossford shot 60 percent from the field, and the Bulldog bench out-scored Elmwood subs 23-3. Leading RHS in scoring was Niese with 17 points and seven assists. He also hit a perfect 6 for 6 from the free throw line. Aguirre chipped in 10 points and five rebounds. The Bulldog big men– Childress, Linthicum and Hodak–combined for 18 points and 10 rebounds. Leading the Royals were Tayte Lentz with 18 points and joining him in double fig- ures was Trevor Solether with 13. At the game’s conclusion, the Elmwood announcer noted that Rossford had won a share of the league championship, and the hosts showed tremendous sportsmanship, allowing the Bulldogs to cut down the net and celebrate with fans on the floor. Each of the players took turns clipping off a piece of trailed 28-27. The Bulldogs managed to rally in the second half. Until that point, the shots weren’t falling, although the RHS defense was creating opportunities for the team. Rossford began to take advantage of Maumee’s misses and started utilizing a higher percentage inside game, where they went down low to Nate Childress to State Tourney Run The Bulldogs now turn their sights on making a state tournament run. The first step in this quest comes tonight at 6:15 p.m. at Sylvania Southview where the Bulldogs face the winner of the NapoleonWauseon contest. the net’s twine while fans and parents took pictures. The win gave the Bulldogs an 18-4 overall record on the season and a 13-1 league mark. Bulldogs Turn Back Panthers, 60-43 On February 24, Rossford hosted the Maumee Panthers for the final home game of the season. After a tightly contested first half in which Maumee hit eight of 15 shots from the three-point range, Rossford power it in. A 10-3 run at the end of the third quarter, including a three at the buzzer by Ben Sauter, boosted the Bulldogs to a 45-36 lead. From there, RHS did not look back, outscoring the Panthers 33-15 in the second half. Childress led the Bulldogs with 12 points and seven boards while Sauter added 11, and Ryan Niese and Hector Aguirre each tossed in 10.

Matthew’s journey to Eagle began in September 2006 as a 6-year-old in Pack 43 Tenderfoot Cub Scout. He finished that journey on November 12, 2014 by becoming a 14-year-old BSA Troop 62 Eagle Scout. He is the son of Wil and Janet Hinojosa. The family are members of Ashland Church, Starr Avenue, Oregon, where Matthew completed his Eagle project. Matthew had mixed emotions on his decision for his Eagle project. He loves the outdoors, hopes to study environmental sciences and become a park ranger for the National Park Service. He also is very devoted to his church. Matthew had to decide whether to build wood duck boxes for Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge or complete a much-needed makeover of the Ashland Church music department. During the ceremony, a special presentation was made by Rebecca Shaw, director of music at the church. Her department was the beneficiary of Matthew’s Eagle project that involved the revamping of two rooms to aid the church choir and musicians. The work included a built-in work table, mail boxes for each musician, a numbering system, heavy duty shelving system for all instruments and the renovation of the stairway and hand rail system to aid the handicap church members. In his Eagle response during the ceremony, Matthew acknowledged his family, friends, his scouting family and church members as his heroes who helped and guided him during his journey to Eagle Scout. “The people and the experiences during my nineyear journey to Eagle are in my heart forever,” he said. “And with the help of God, I plan to live by the scout oath and the scout law for the rest of my life.” Eagle is the highest rank obtainable in scouting. A freshman at Rossford High School, Matthew is active on the school soccer and track and field teams. By Richard Staffan The family of Wendell Meek would like to thank all the friends who came and worked so hard for the dinner and raffles, and the Eagles for the hall and help, for the benefit for their daughter. It was very nice. The Eagles will have karaoke on Saturday, March 7, 7:30 to 11:30 p.m., with Karaoke Steve.

The funding will help promote oral health education in several schools in Wood County during National Children’s Dental Health Month. Dental care is the number one unmet health care need for nearly 157,400 children of all family incomes across Ohio as well as for all races and ethnicities. Nearly 486,000 of Ohio’s children are without dental insurance and almost 340,000 children in Ohio have never been to the dentist. In Wood County, 21 percent of children under 18 have not had a dental visit in the last year, 9.1 percent have never visited a dentist, 14 percent do not have dental insurance and 4.4 percent could not receive needed dental care. The Ohio Department of Health cites that 51 percent of Ohio children have experienced tooth decay by third grade. “Developing good habits such as daily tooth brushing with fluoridated toothpaste at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums,” said health educator, Jennifer Campos. “That is why our program will focus on age-appropriate educational outreach materials and distribution of oral between Mr. Gilmore and the township, which began January 4.

It is located in the business complex at 1001 Dixie Highway. The Rossford CVB was founded in 2011 to promote Rossford attractions and businesses to visitors, who come to eat, shop, play, stay overnight and do business. Beth Genson serves as the director, and Mary Schaller is the administrative assistant. In conjunction with the open house, NWSD offers tips to prevent water pipes from freezing and fix frozen water lines Current weather conditions pose a threat to water pipes that are not protected. The Northwestern Water and Sewer District urges residents to take steps that prevent water pipes and meters from freezing, which allows water service to continue and avoids expensive repairs. •Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. Detaching the hose allows water to drain from the pipe. Otherwise a single, hard overnight freeze can burst either the faucet or the pipe to which it is connected. •Insulate pipes or faucets in unheated areas. If the homeowner has pipes in an unheated garage or cold crawl space beneath the house, wrap the water pipes before temperatures plummet. Hardware or building supply stores have good pipe wrapping materials available. •Consider installing “heat tape,” “heat cable” or similar materials on exposed water pipes. Hardware or building supply stores have many brands to fit all needs. Be sure to use only UL-listed products and follow the instructions carefully. •Seal off access doors, air vents and cracks. Repair broken basement windows. Winter winds whistling through overlooked openings can quickly freeze AREA BUSINESS GUIDE We Buy Scrap Batteries! We have all types of batteries–not just auto!

However, don’t plug air vents the furnace or water heater needs for good combustion. •Find the master shutoff. It’s most likely where the water line comes into the house from the street. If it is not there, it may be near the water heater or washing machine. If a pipe bursts anywhere in the house– kitchen, bath, basement or crawl space–this valve turns it off. Find it and paint it a bright color or hang a tag on it. Be sure everyone in the house knows where it is and what it does. •Keep a thin stream of water, the size of a pencil lead, running overnight or during the day, if there is no water usage. The cost is minimal compared to expensive repairs. What should a homeowner do if the pipes freeze? If no water comes from faucets when they are open, the pipes nearest a wall, door, window or along the floor are likely frozen. Start by opening a faucet near the frozen pipe to release any vapor from the melting ice, and to know when the water starts flowing again. Begin warming the pipes nearest the faucet and work toward the frozen section. Blow warm air on the pipe using a hair dryer. Do not leave the dryer unattended or allow it to overheat. Wave the hair dryer back and forth along the pipe–not on one spot. Do not under any circumstances use a torch with an open flame. The entire house could catch on fire. Also, overheating a single spot can burst the pipe. Heating a soldered joint could allow it to leak or come completely apart. When the pipe thaws, water could come gushing out. Be prepared to run for the master shutoff valve, if so. If a hair dryer is not available, wrap the frozen section with rags or towels and pour hot water over them. This method is messy, but it works. Once water has begun to flow again, let a pencilsized stream of water flow through the faucet until normal heating is restored to the area. Eliminate cold drafts and allow warm air to circulate around the pipes to prevent freezing again. For more information, contact NWSD at 1-877354-9090 or visit the website www.nwwsd.org. Anyone experiencing an emergency who needs to reach NWSD after hours, should call 419-354-9001, and choose option 4 at the prompt.

That was when he developed a dependency on drugs. Determined to overcome his addiction, he was healed through his study of Science and Health with Key of the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, a book of universal ideas on practical spirituality. The experience changed his life, bringing renewed commitment to his spiritual journey. “That’s why I know it works,” he said. “You have to bring God into the conversation. God is the healer. There is a spiritual solution and it is based upon Christian Science prayer. “Look what happened to me. It can happen to anyone who wants healing badly enough,” he said. His lecture invites people to consider the message, one that stirs human thought and Heroin and other drug addictions have become a top health concern in northwest Ohio, and state and local agencies are addressing the problem with ramped up antiaddiction initiatives including treatment programs. However, there is a another helpful approach to overcoming habit-forming addictions, one based upon spirituality, which will be described by Christian Science lecturer John Adams, who, as a young man was healed of a serious drug problem. Mr. Adams will bring a message of hope and promise when he delivers a free lecture at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 16, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Levis Commons in Perrysburg.

(It’s a charming trait!) She would love to have a very active family who can keep up with her and engage her in lots of different physical activities to satisfy her adventurous spirit. Cass has done very well around a couple of young children that she has met at the shelter, but she would prefer a home without cats. (We also haven’t had the chance to introduce her to any other dogs, so we don’t know how well she’d do with them.) Cass isn’t always active, though, and she loves her nap times as much as any dog! Think Cass might have a place in your family? Come meet her today! About a year ago, Sabrina was a stray who was found by a kind couple in the community. This couple took her in, learned that she suffered from an injured jaw, and nursed her back to health before turning her over to us. This dilute tortie is in perfect health now, aside from missing her teeth. (But don’t let that fact worry you! Sabrina can eat, meow, play, and even cat nap as well as the next feline, with or without her teeth!) This girl can be a bit shy when she is getting to know humans, but once a human is familiar to her, she is so affectionate and loving. Sabrina would enjoy nothing more than to curl up on the couch with her forever family. If you think your home could be her new forever home, then drop by and fill out an application today! *All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention in dogs, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a 14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped prior to adoption.* Bring this advertisement to the shelter when you come to adopt one of our featured animals and receive $10 off the animal’s regular adoption price (not combined with any other specials) with an approved application. Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 to learn more about these great pets. All of our adoptable animals can be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

The report is available for inspection at the library in the fiscal officer’s office at 720 Dixie Highway, Rossford, Ohio 43460. Cynthia L. Selz Fiscal Officer Published in the Rossford Record Journal, issue of March 5, 2015. March is Red Cross Month In honor of Red Cross Month in March, the American Red Cross invites everyone to donate blood or platelets, volunteer their time or sign up to organize a blood drive. Since 1943, every president has designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps people down the street and across the country. “The everyday heroes are those who donate blood, volunteer, take a lifesaving class, host a blood drive or make a financial contribution to help neighbors here in northwest Ohio and across the nation,” said Mike Thome, CEO of the Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region. “We thank and honor these everyday heroes who support the Red Cross.” People also can become everyday heroes by hosting a SleevesUp virtual blood drive or creating a team via the Blood Donor App. SleevesUp provides an easy way for Red Cross supporters to encourage those in their networks to give blood or platelets to honor someone’s life, celebrate a special occasion or simply bring people together to help save lives. Campaigns can be created online at redcrossblood .org/SleevesUp. The Blood Donor App allows individuals to find a local blood or platelet donation opportunity, schedule appointments and track their donation history. Plus, it lets users create teams and recruit friends and family to roll up a sleeve with them. The Blood Donor App is available for download by texting BLOODAPP to 90999 or by visiting redcrossblood.org /BloodApp. “It doesn’t take superpowers to be a hero for a patient in need–just a little time,” said Mr. Thome. Blood donors with all blood types, particularly O negative, A negative and B negative, and platelet donors are encouraged to make an appointment to give. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767.

Page 8 — March 5, 2015 — ROSSFORD RECORD JOURNAL Seminar for parents to discuss online dangers for children Area parents are invited to a free seminar on Monday, March 9, explaining online dangers for children. The Rossford School District will host “The Digital Divide: Children at Risk Online–What Parents Don’t Know About the Internet.” It will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Rossford High School auditorium, 701 Superior Street. This seminar provides the opportunity for parents to learn what their children are doing online and the specific risks that online child sex predators pose. It will be presented by an experienced Internet crimes investigator with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office who provides a unique perspec- tive on the risks children face. Children are savvy and confident in exploring all that the Internet has to offer, but they often take risks online. Seminar topics include: Online Risks, Where Kids Hang Out, Chatting/Messaging, Mobile Platform Risks, Popular Apps, Monitoring Your PC, Web/Email/P2P, Open Source Dangers, Social Mapping, Online Predators, Social Media, Bootable OS, Parent Strategies, and Getting Help. Parents will learn how to develop a plan to protect children. This seminar is intended for adults. No children should attend. Girls bowling team qualifies for state For the first time in Rossford High School history, the girls bowling team has advanced to the state competition after a fourth place finish among 12 teams at districts last weekend. The girls rolled up 3618 points in the competition held at Rossford’s Interstate Lanes. “It’s pretty surreal,” said Head Coach Justin Reitz after the girls continue to amaze in what has turned out to be a Cinderella season for the team. “I knew they were good, but this tells me that we are one of the best 16 teams in Ohio. We’re still on cloud nine. We knew we could do it, but I’m also a little shocked because of the talent that was there.” Leading the way for Rossford was Kathleen Hermes, who rolled a 560 series. At district, the team had to play three games in the competition. She was joined by Jessica Kulczak with a 530 series and Hope Kemper with a 505 series. The team now moves on to compete on Friday, March 6 at Lane Webb Bowl in Columbus. OHSAA has only recognized bowling as a state sport for 10 years. This is the first time that Rossford has a bowling team–boys or girls–at this level. Reitz believes that on any given day his girls can compete with any school. “I’m not sure what to expect at state,” he said. “It will be interesting to see how we handle it. But, we have the talent. And if we bowl well, we could make a run at the title.” The girls will bowl at 10 a.m. in their quest to continue the success of this landmark season. –Michael Krieger Parent Project series begins Mon., March 16 FreeChick-fil-A Chick-fil-A Free Chicken Biscuit Chicken Biscuit Every Wednesday Morning in March from 6:30 am until 10:30 am @ Perrysburg Plaza One Biscuit per person per day.

Wrestler Vasquez advances to district competition Rossford High School’s head wrestling coach Randy Hussar summed up the sectional competition at Oak Harbor last weekend as “brutal.” Against what might be the toughest competition in the state, the RHS wrestlers competed well and managed to get one qualifier to this week’s district competition. In a tournament where no matches in the finals went to a pin and action was often slowed due to injuries, Rossford’s young team had their hands full. Sophomore Brandon Vasquez, wrestling in the 285 lb. weight class, was the lone Bulldog qualifier. Vasquez did not make it look easy, though. After a first round loss to the top seeded wrestler, he achieved the unlikely accomplishment of wrestling all the way back to gain a spot in the consolation final before losing there Heartland Perrysburg Heartland of of Perrysburg The Rossford Athletic Boosters will hold a Bowling Extravaganza on Friday, March 20.

The top four placers advance to the district competition–one step before going to state. “It’s rare when a kid can come back like that after a first round loss,” Hussar said. Tanner Krotzer at 106 lbs. and Casey Orr at 170 lbs. wrestled well enough to be considered alternates to district. They will only wrestle on the off-chance that another competitor cannot on the day of the tournament. Freshman Austin Eick at 113 lbs. would have been an alternate, but an injury during his final match will keep him sidelined. “The kids didn’t wrestle bad. All the matches were close,” Hussar said. “We represented ourselves well for as young as we are.” –Michael Krieger Boosters to host ‘Reducing Violence in Schools’ Bowling Night topic of program on March 10 They will join Toledo The St. Rose Peace and on March 20 The Rossford High School Drama Club advisors are Julie Zatko and Ryan Mahaffey.
